    Well, ToyWorld tried to establish a new, larger scale for their MP releases and failed. But their releases came way too late in the game and most collectors were already pot committed.

    I will stick with MMCs Terraegis. But I’m interested im FTs version of Hoist.

    I‘m still a firm believer that NewAge managed to do the best compromise between alt- and bot-mode and at Legends scale.

    It is fascinating how detailed the insides of his wings are while the rest of the figure is so incredibly bland.

    I got MMCs Eris: Kultur last week. She is from a new line called InfiniteFinity, that gives MMCs designers more freedom than the slavish G1 MP line. She is quite ok. The biggest issue are the joints/joint tolerances. Most movement joints are too tight while the transformation joints are not tight enough which makes her a tad bothersome to handle. Other than that I like it quite a bit. Images and videos can’t to the treads justice. They are hard plates individually linked and move freely. Now make me my G1 Drift and Barricade in that line MMC. 😉 Or more fembots.

    The NewAge Seekers are lit!

    So according to TFW2005 Ron Perlman will be voicing Optimus Primal: https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/06/28/ron-perlman-to-voice-optimus-primal-in-transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-436382 This seems to be another hint that this will be a similar movie to the Michael Bay ones. Remember, when John Goodman voiced Hound? 😑

    That’s why I added the disclaimer. 😇

    It is available at NY if you are willing to take the risk: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/34968-gundam-seed-metal-build-strike-rouge-ootori-striker-limited-edition.html

    Hi-Metal R

    Scyla replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Honk, honk. My dream is that someday we will get a Arcadia or DX VF-2SS with all the bells and whistles.

    Everything I heard about this movie reminds me of the Bay movies. And not in a good way. I thought after Bumblebee we had the chance of getting more decent Transformers movies but apparently this is not the case. 😶

    PSA: The Metal Build Strike Rouge is available for preorder at anime-export: https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=52799

    Well, one could assume I should be able do identify the TWE logo given how many TWE items I own… …but I don’t. Anyhow. It doesn’t seem that the Strike Rouge has the Grand Slam sword included so I guess Bandai insists on buying a new Strike Gundam just for the Grand Slam.

    Thank you. Is there a way to tell if you can’t read Japanese? Is it because of the p-bandai product link in the article?
  15. Scyla
    Sweet, is the Strike Rouge a TWE or a regular release?
  16. Scyla
    How did the preorder of the VF-31J go? Sadly/thankfully I was unable to participate but I wonder how easy it will be to get one at release.

    Got my New Age Herbie V2 and Vanishing Point two pack. And while I was upset that I had to buy a Bumblebee to get a Cliffjumper it is nice to have a version of the toy to fiddle with, while the other is in the display case. Other than that they are great. The hinges on their chest don’t bother me in hand. Because they are so tiny they are barely noticeable. Articulation, paint, material, sculpt, everything is on point and NA again made a tiny version of a character that is so much better than the official MP version. Herbies head sculpt is amazing and oozes with Bumblebees character. I absolutely adore the Micromachine feel I get from them in alt-mode. Transformation is fun, albeit a bit fiddly, and refreshing. I highly recommend them. Words can’t describe how tiny they are:

    How did you come to that conclusion?

    I’m a selfish person and I want to have closure for the Berserk manga. Hopefully volume 41 won’t end with a cliffhanger, if it’s getting released. Sad to see him go. I was always looking forward to new chapters. Thinking about it, volume 40 was a nice end cap for the series, maybe they shouldn’t release the last chapters if they don’t have plans to continue the manga. I‘m not against continuing Berserk in general. Brandon Sanderson did a good job finishing The Wheel of Time after the passing of Robert Jordan. Maybe he had an assistant that could do it? But it is a different thing to continue a comic where you have to emulate the art as well as the story and if the author didn’t have detailed notes on how to conclude the story.

    I have a core cast of characters that I collect in every scale (Skywarp, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Shockwave).

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Scyla replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    So I want the speaker pod and not another VF-31J. Hope they will do a TWE set with all the speaker pods for the Chaos team. I would buy that. Won’t buy this… …or do I?
  23. Scyla
    At this stage I don’t think they will change anything about the sculpt or the engineering. According to the tweet this is a block model so they are going to add additional details like the chest vents. Interesting. I learned something new today.

    First look at MP Skyfire. https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/05/13/first-look-at-takara-tomy-masterpiece-skyfire-prototype-433269 I’m at a loss of words how bad that looks.

    Can the firetruck on the top really turn into the robot on the bottom?
